Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you allowed to play with grid keys (or custom bind keys) in the Ladder?

Anyways, I like the standard keys both in sc:bw and sc2 so I'm not gonna switch

Does anyone know why my hotkeys don't change after selecting grid? The string in Variables.txt changes correctly, but the hotkeys ingame stay like they were.

The only thing I can think of is making sure you select grid, then [accept] to close the window. Haven't heard of this issue otherwise.

I prefer it because of the change to select larvae anyway.

Now QQ is drone. lol.

Yea I do that of course. As I stated, the value "hotkeyprofile" in Variables.txt changes accordingly (from 0_Standard to 2_GridLeftSide). But the ingame hotkeys stay the same, S for scv instead of Q etc.

Iam using the Gridkeys and i really like them. It is so easy to learn and master the keys for every race. Just the attackmove on T is ridiculus, but i think that i got used to it that i woukd be hard to switvh back to A again.

for me t as attack hotkey is very comfortable. i have my units on 1-4, so i can actually use 2 fingers to attack, makes it so much easier and faster to use. i like my grid, took some time to get used to it though. also i dont "mispress" as much as i used to do when i was still using standard layout, and obviously, i was using the standard far longer than grid. at first i was a little bit uhh when i saw that attack is t, but now i cant even understand all you guys anymore. maybe 1a2a3a addiction yes? i do agree that pressing 1a2a3a really fast, makes one feel like pro.

Then it seems it seems it should be another option in the poll

I'm not sure but cant you attack move with shift+right click? I just read this and decided to go try grid now

Here's where I got the info:

Shift right click would add a move to the units queue of actions.

I remapped one of my side mouse buttons to send Y + <click> (I use dvorak so Y is attack on the grid) but it stops working when I am protoss and have warp gates. Drives me crazy.

this is the only thing that makes me not wanna use grid hotkeys too. but even with regular keys, drone rally and roach both being R pisses me off to no end. trying to build roach with no larva and then tryign to select a unit makes all the drones rally to that unit, extremely annoying.
